Am I the only one that finds it ironic that a thread pointing out the lack of activity on the site has gotten the most attention and comments of virtually any thread of the last several days? I don't know whether bullying is any worse than in the past, there are always people on any site that promotes opinion who have an abrasive way of responding. There are a lot of people who, for whatever reason, were reasonable, rational, kind, and thoughtful posters, who no longer visit here. (I'm talking to you BillnBrillo). It just seems to me that back in the day we regularly had threads that were thought provoking, informative, and at the same time fun that would bring lots of good feedback from lots of bright people. They still exist, but seem to me to be far fewer than they were a few years ago. Maybe this is just the natural maturity of a website and the posters that populate it.

I am far from a wordsmith, so I find it difficult to express what I feel. I recall the days of reasonable, non judgemental debate and discussion. Now, no matter how respectful, thoughtful or reasonable you may be, you WILL be judged and "slotted" into a spot, and by insinuation, you better stay in your place. Not a natural process at all. |

I am an outspoken pain in the fanny, and often abrasive but others have overlooked my flaws and befriended me. Makes me think it could happen to anyone.

Last week, I tried to get some stock market conversation going. That usually takes off.
But I guess not many people were interested or paying attention — or whatever. Oh, well. I tried. Sincerely, Boomer the Wallflower |

I don't know anything about the stock market. We have a trusted financial advisor who has done well for us.

Don't forget the 100% foolproof philosophy of investing in the stock market, given by Will Rogers a long time ago...
"Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it." |

I love the stuff Will Rogers said. While I am here I think I will make a total fool of myself by asking this question. (I asked it on here about 10 years ago (mercy me!) and nobody knew.) If you are old enough to have gone on dates to drive-in movies, I need to know if you remember people going around knocking on those steamed up car windows, and asking for donations to "The Will Rogers Fund." I am not making this up. At least, I do not think I am. I was kinda busy at the time. Anybody? |

Live in such a way that you would not mind selling your pet parrot to the town gossip.
